These data exhibit a clear rightward bias.

Which is plausible and expected, since crypto is all about a smaller state which doesn't control money. On the contrary, most of the other players in the big tech sector exhibit a clear leftward bias. Why is crypto special? Because it's right wing? Or because it's crypto?

right-wing doesn't mean "smaller state," but rather a state more conservative of extant victors. That may mean "smaller" if, for example, the EPA threatens capital accumulation, or larger if, for example, policing maintains an exploitable labor pool.

most of the other players in the big tech sector

Yeah, such as union-busting Amazon or Google. /s
